Roofing write for us: storm and roof guides from contractors
Roofing write for us is for roofing contractors, storm crews and adjusters with years in the trade who know what a homeowner should do after the weather passes. Each guide names your credential, and no money changes hands either way.
The short version
A roofing guide here tells a homeowner what to document, what to do from the ground, and when to get a contractor or adjuster out.

Straight answers
Roofing contributor questions
The questions homeowners actually search for on this problem, answered in plain language.
Browse all guidesWho can write roofing guides for you?
Roofing contractors, storm restoration crews, arborists, adjusters and inspectors, with a credential we can state accurately.
Do you pay roofing contributors?
No, and we do not charge either. You get a credited byline on a maintained guide.
Can adjusters write about insurance claims?
Yes. Claims pieces are among the most useful on the site, provided they are sourced and do not give legal advice.
What roofing topics are already covered?
Browse the storm, roof and tree guides first, then pitch the gap you know best.
Do you accept sponsored roofing posts?
Yes, clearly disclosed. Sponsorship never changes the safety line about working at height.
How do I pitch a roofing guide?
Email the editor with a one-paragraph idea, a working title, the homeowner problem and your sources.
Will you edit my advice?
Not the technical substance without asking. You see the edited version before publication.
Can I link to my roofing company?
In your byline, and in the body where it is genuinely the reference a reader needs.
Can I include storm damage photos?
Yes, with permission and nothing that identifies the property.
Can I use AI to write the draft?
Not as a submission. The point is detail only you can supply.
Who writes these: Roofing contractors, storm restoration crews, arborists who deal with trees on roofs, public and insurance adjusters, and home inspectors.
Roofing write for us: what our readers need after a storm
Our roofing readers are standing in the yard looking up. They need to know what to photograph, what to move, who to call first and how to avoid the contractor who knocks on the door the same afternoon.
Working roofers and adjusters see the same mistakes after every storm. A guide that heads those off is worth more to a homeowner than any explanation of shingle types.
Where a roofing guide has to stop
Nobody should be told to climb a wet roof. Every roofing guide on the site keeps the homeowner on the ground, and routes anything at height, near a power line or structurally compromised to a professional or the utility.
The details only a roofer or adjuster knows
These are the details we want in a roofing pitch:
- What storm damage looks like from the ground, and what only shows up close.
- The photographs an adjuster actually asks for.
- The estimate line items that separate a legitimate contractor from a storm chaser.
- How long a temporary tarp really holds.
Your byline, your credential
Roofing guides carry a real name and a credential we can state accurately, such as a contractor license, an adjuster license or years in the trade. Commercial interests are printed beside it.
Before you pitch
See what is already published in our storm, roof and tree guides, read the main contributor rules, and check the editorial standard we hold every guide to. If a paid placement is what you want, that is where roofing sponsors are handled, with different rules. This roofing write for us page covers only what is specific to roofing.
